I'd say you treat the symptoms, but stop trying to claim they have Asperger's. [/quote]

Stop it, stop it stop it.  you have never met my DC, you have no right to judge his diagnosis (which has been given to him by several clinicians with a hell of a lot more expertise than you.)  Do you have any idea how offensive it is to those of us with children with Aspergers who have to work our asses off to help them have any kind of reasonable future, only to have idiots like you judge us?  Based on nothing?  And don't come back and say you are only judging the ones who are misdiagnosed because you have no right to make that determination, based on a few sentences on a thread.

And for the record, we get NO services from the city.  My DS goes to a private school and we pay for his interventions, taking what little our insurance company will reimburse.  We have spent an enormous amount of money over the years

Did you know that people with Aspergers have elevated rates of depression and suicide, especially suicide?  Do you have any idea what kind of fears we live with every day?  While you sit back and judge, judge, judge.

Okay cut it out. Cut out the profanity. If this discussion makes you so emotional that you can't control yourself from spewing profanity just leave the discussion then. Nobody is forcing you to change your position.

I don't think it is appropriate to label children as Aspergers simply to treat their symptoms if they dont' meet the real diagnosis. Many many doctors will dx a child with Aspergers in order for the child to get services, however. This is a known fact. I'm very sorry for the rates of depression and suicide among people with Aspergers but again if they truly have Aspergers they'll get the dx and then are entitled to services. But if they merely have symptoms, as my DS does, and are not  Aspergers, I need to and should pay out of pocket.

yes, I am angry.  And you are an asshole.[/quote][/quote]
